Expansion and Contraction Lab


Problem:What will happen to the balloon when we put the bottle in cold and warm water?

Research:
Expand:To take up more space.
Contract: To take up less space.

Hypothesis: If the ballon was in warm waterthen it will blow up. (What about the cold water?)

Materials: Safety goggles, Balloon, Plastic bottle, Warm water, Cold water

Procedure:

1.) Stretch the opening of the balloon over the neck of the bottle.
2.) Observe the balloon at room temperature. Record observations.
3.) Place the bottle with the balloon in the warm water for about 30 seconds.
4.) Observe the ballon again and record any changes you see in the balloon.

5.) Remove the bottle and ballon from the warm water and quickly place it in the cold
water for about 30 seconds (or until it cools).
6.) Observe the ballon and record any changes you see in the ballon.


Results:


Water Temperature

Prediction

Description of the Balloon

Room Temperature
deflate
flat and wrinkerly



Warm
the ballon was big
it was cycerler



Cold
flat and winkerly
it is boncy




Conclusion: My hypothesis is correct because I said that if you put the bottle in the warm water it will blow up but if you put it in cold water it will deflate and it can bons. (Use your results to support your conclusion.)

can state a hypothesis related to the problem and procedure.
I can conduct research about concepts that are related to the topic I am investigating.
I can collect quantitative/qualitative data while conducting an experiment.
I can use the data in my results to draw a conclusion about what happened and why.
Overall, I can apply the scienctific method to solve a problem.
